CARLOW FOOTBALLER DARRAGH Foley backs his former coach Ger Brennan to be a worthy successor to Mickey Harte when he takes the reins in Louth next season.
Foley worked with Brennan when he was a head coach for then-Carlow boss Niall Carew during the Covid times of 2020 and 2021. Those were challenging seasons when direct contact between teammates and coaches was heavily restricted, but even with those tight parameters, Foley learned a lot from Brennan.

He was a real leader in that Dublin team that kickstarted the drive for success. It was only a matter of time before he got a role as manager. Louth are lucky to have him on board.”
”It’s going to be interesting to see how it plays out when Ger gets his first taste of management in the inter-county game. He’s played under very successful managers in Pat Gilroy and Jim Gavin so I’m sure he’s taken bits and pieces from those guys as well.”James Crombie / INPHO Darragh Foley getting to the ball ahead of Ger Brennan.
